Consequently, the coating is divided into chessboard-like segments. Afterwards, an adhesive tape is attached to the scored area, pressed on and removed again. The percentage of the removed and/or broken segments is to be determined visually and a cross cutting characteristic value is to be assigned to this appearance in accordance with the specified limit values.

Testing are carried out according to DIN EN ISO 2409.

The master-paint-plate can also be used for the production of wedge-shaped coatings, as a leveling doctor blade for investigating the flowing properties and for testing the wet film layer thickness.
